@@tomaribicic7401 yeah who knew huh? 😆 I think this would be more akin to common/poor man's way of making alcohol, its exists in every country & the end product goes by different names depending on where you are located, and made using the most common ingredients available or can be acquired locally. I think this video is just an extension of that. Even though there's nothing wrong here, I do think it would be better to have more ingredients & essences but getting the combos right & timed is where the trickery lies... which is what is referred to as being part of a body to a drink... u know words like "tones of vanilla" or elderflower, etc. as expert drinkers would put it. Else its just wood soaked in 95% proof sprit, in which case one could use maple or many other wood varieties.

Hello, I'll share my experience, maybe it's gonna help someone. I did not follow the instructions in full detail (I never seem to be able to do that when cooking or baking 😂), and it turned out good! I used "barrique" oak chips used in my area to make wine. 65g for a total of 700 ml liquid. I slightly burnt a couple of bigger pieces with a lighter, the rest stayed as I bought it (already pre-toasted a little bit). The whole process took me about 20 days, and I managed to do around 13 reps of putting it in & out of the freezer to make the wood work. In the end, it was not necessary, because it got a beautiful honey color in the very first day and during my continuous tasting, it also occurred to me that it already tasted quite oaky, so I removed 3/4 of the wood chips. Halfway through the process, I added a whole cinnamon stick, a pinch of nutmeg powder, and way more sugar than the video showed (I like my whiskey sweeter). Every time I took it out of the freezer I made sure to leave the jar open for 10- 15 minutes to let the whiskey breathe and smoothen. It wasn't helping at all at first with the strong moonshine-y aftertaste, but it probably did something in the end as now I almost can't taste that at all. The only problem was that I probably added too much sugar too soon. It made the whiskey cloudy and I had to spend additional time having it drip through some cotton to get rid of the cloudiness. The sweetness stayed, though. I also lost a nonnegligible part of the liquid (~ 280 ml). I blame those wooden chips, they soaked up a solid amount, some was also lost during the straining and filtering, some evaporated I suppose, and well, some I just poured out for my little tastings along the way 😄 The final result: the "whiskey" has a beautiful golden red color very similar to Ballantine's. It smells like sweet oak with hints of cinnamon and tastes that way too. Very mild and pleasant finish. Next time, I'd try to experiment with honey, vanilla, more charred wood, and perhaps some chips already pre-soaked in sherry. It was definitely a fun thing to experiment with. Dos: freezer, pre-charred chips, letting it breathe, cinnamon if you're into that Don'ts: adding sugar before you're done with the whole process, tasting too much 😂

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Thanks again 😉👍🏼🤪 I like to know the experience of other people. Keep us updated with the new experiment

[@justinjohnson9627]

I've done a similar technique with oak chips, but with chips from a homebrew supply store. My technique is to cover the chips with the grain alcohol (moonshine) without the water added and place in freezer overnight, remove in the morning and let set out. Each night place back in the freezer, each morning remove. Repeat each day for as long as you want to age. Then dilute with water to the strength you want.The high alcohol percentage prevents freezing of liquid but causes the wood to contract, and setting outside it expands. Each cycle mimics a full year as you've stated.

[@lkocevar]

Here's the deal. Using this method and this base spirit I am 100% sure I would taste out what it is. Been there, done that. Now. If you'd had a somewhat more malt-based distillate and not more than 70-80%vol (base spirit is REALLY important, BUT you don't have to go full-on chemist master distiller on it. It just has to be malt-based at least 60% malt and not too hight distilled), less wood, a semi-permeable lid (wood, cork, etc.) and leave it at least 7 months to sit. You'd be in the whiskey taste territory. You won't BELIEVE what that stuff is doing in that time. It changes from week to week. Drastically! And after 5 months it starts to chill out. So... After meh... let's say 1,5 years, it would be REALLY hard to taste out if it's a brand or not. At least 3y to be a whiskey is just commercial bullshit. Rules bent to the will of the industry to have a monopoly on the golden drank.

What would "seeing" a difference prove?

[@MasterQuack14]

To get a better flavor you should alternate putting the jar in the refrigerator and outside the refrigerator. What gives aged whiskey the oak flavor is the seasonal rotation from hot and cold weather that forces the pressure differential in the sealed barrel to change. Heat increases the pressure and forces the alcohol into the wood, where as the cold weather causes a vacuum and draws the oak tannins out of the wood and into the whiskey. Just soaking wood in alcohol will give you some weak oak tea, not a quality whiskey.

@@MasterQuack14 nay,nay,nay..., overnight in the freezer then out in the morning and when it reaches ambient temperature you have duplicated one year of aging. Now the calculations of how much wood chips you need per gallon of product is beyond my desire to figure out. It would require knowledge of the square inches of surface area inside a wood barrel and the volume that it holds and how deep the char is that's applied. That's where a math geek would have a hey-day. 😅

I made a batch of this, using my own home made sugar vodka (70% ABV) and medium roasted American oak chips bought from ebay, that I charred slightly in a frying pan. Today was the first tasting after ageing and diluting to 40%, and I must say while the taste is not exactly like whisky, it is very enjoyable to drink! I think next time I should use more oak chips, because mine is lighter in colour than the one in the video, and I think could use a more smoky taste. Great video!

I just finished my 'whisky' and had a few thoughts... I used oak chips not sticks like Andrea. When you're drying and toasting them in the oven, it is very easy to over toast them and then the taste of smoke is way too strong. Use more gap and a lot less time in the final toasting phase if you're using chips. With the brown sugar added and a little dilution with water and the remaining alcohol that I didn't soak, it helped tone it down. After two weeks in the bottle, the smokiness tones down a little. In a tasting with Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Talisker and Highland Park l, the whisky is harsher, but very similar to Talisker, and with a cube of ice and a dash of water, it is surprisingly good.....spec-tac-ular !! Fun to do and experiment with, I'm going to try it with neat, cheap, Vodka next.

Here in Australia the cafe's have an option of using sugar crystals or sugar in a liquid form, ill find out the factory that makes liquid cane sugar and ill post the detail on how to get it.

God! I just tasted it, it's spectacular indeed! I followed your steps and a few from the comments here, (my only option was to cut fresh wood from a tree, dry it and tosted it) 2nd and 4rth day (only) I placed it in the fridge, all the other days in a room. I added the sugar, left it and now I tried it and it is amazing! Whiskey taste. Smoky, woody and too strong. The alcohol I used is greek tsipouro (strong distilled spirit containing 40-45% alcohol) without anise (it comes with and without anise). Spectacular! Thank you so much for the recipe and the tips from everyone in the comments! Awesome!

[@ARCSTREAMS]

i have other suggestion for you,,when you filter your whisky to put in the bottle you should use cotton ball in your funel,it takes longer but it comes out crystal clear ,no haze no nothing

[@akeipra]

Is it nice for Healthy?

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@akeipra i can not tell you 100% is completely safe because i am not 100% certain ,cotton balls may have been bleached and then sterilized ,this is all i know about them but they are widely used in medical and cosmetic field where they are in contact with skin or blood so i do not see why there should be any problem, i have been using them and they work great, you can give it a try with a small sample and see the difference, take a sample of your homemade whisky or alcohol and a sample of store bought whisky and put them both up to a light at certain angle you will see your whisky has haze but after passing through cotton balls is clear like store bought,its worth for you to do research for yourself

[@akeipra]

@@ARCSTREAMS thanks for hits! if that will clean liquids, i could use it against of BRITTA Filter ^^

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@akeipra britta is not so good and may take longer and very cumbersome and expensive headache to use,,, cotton ball much simpler cleaner and no waste

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@A Ks hmm i dont think it will have the same filtration density as a cotton ball which is finer and can nicely plug up the funnel better ,easier to use and better results ,woven cotton cloth is not the same fine fibres as cotton ball

[@JoshSPeters]

In no way does this qualify as whisky

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Try and after you can say what it’s better 😉

[@JoshSPeters]

@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Dude, I've tried sooo many of these experiments, custom-made "whiskey sticks", charcoal, "hyper aged" whiskey from big companies etc. And they all produce garbage results that in no way mirror an actual whiskey. The only way you could think this tastes like a good whiskey is if you don't drink good whiskey (also, this doesn't qualify as a whiskey). I spoke about it on the BBC recently. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5zEeqiGedickMU

[@JesusPensiones]

@@JoshSPeters so what is it?

[@JoshSPeters]

@@JesusPensiones It's a flavored spirit akin to a flavored vodka. If a brand made this and tried to sell it, it would likely be listed as a "specialty spirit". In no way, from beginning to end, would it be qualified as a whisky in any country. The one possible exception would be India because inside India's borders they make a rum-like spirit they call whisky, BUT it cannot be exported out of India as whisky because it fails the definition of whisky by every single other country on the planet. This isn't a whisky, plain and simple.

This is a very good way to make the best whisky for people who does not know how the whisky tastes. Only cheapest whisky tastes oak which comes from the barrel. But good whisky has many aromas like caramel, citrus, orange, almond, spices, smoke and honey. And also finish differs from one to another.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

😂👍🏼 yes 🤪

[@kb2vca]

I have made something very similar using oak spirals used in home wine making - and it works very well. But I think if you are foraging for oak you need to avoid red oak and look for and use only white oak.

Indeed.

[@Loki_K]

I'm sorry for what is probably a stupid question, but why avoid red oak?

[@Hawke301]

If you're targeting 40% ABV, you can calculate the volume of water to add to the 96% alcohol. If you want 750 mL, that would mean using 312.5 mL of alcohol @ 96% concentration, and the rest (437.5mL) would be water. Depending on what alcohol you're using, the measurements will change, but you have a neat idea. I wonder how it actually compares to a 10-year old whiskey... If you replace the wood chips and do it for another 10-days, is it comparable to a 20-year?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Thanks 👍🏼 try first for 10 days 😉 I never tried double wood, I think it will be to strong taste

Wow doing a hot water soak on the wood to quickly season the wood is genius! I'm sure it will get rid of a lot of the harsh astringent and sappy flavours from the raw wood. I'll have to try this

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Yes 👍🏼 it’s a good idea

[@nightfox6738]

I would swap your ratios. Go with 450ml of water to 300ml of ethanol. That should give you somewhere around 40-45% abv which would be right around where most store bought whiskey is.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Thanks 👍🏼
